Channel: John K Wells

Description
A favourite destination for rail enthusiasts of all ages is the Lickey Incline, which, like much of Britain’s railway scene, underwent significant change between the 1980s and 1990s. One constant during this period was the presence of HSTs, whose look and liveries evolved but whose role remained the same. In time, however, even these icons gave way as new ‘Voyager’ units arrived, pushing HSTs to other routes. This video begins at Bromsgrove with passenger services in the late 1980s, before moving a decade forward up the incline to reveal how the scene had changed.
